About the Minnesota (MN) Dental Community
The Minnesota dental community is a dynamic and multifaceted network dedicated to promoting oral health across the state. Central to this community is the Minnesota Dental Association (MDA), a professional organization representing over 3,000 licensed dentists and dental students. The MDA plays a pivotal role in advocacy, professional development, and public education, striving to maintain high standards of dental care and accessibility throughout Minnesota.
A distinctive feature of Minnesota’s dental landscape is its pioneering adoption of dental therapists. In 2009, Minnesota became the first U.S. state to authorize the licensing of dental therapists, aiming to address disparities in dental care access, particularly in underserved and rural areas. These mid-level practitioners perform preventive and basic restorative services under the supervision of dentists. Research indicates that their integration has led to increased productivity in dental clinics, enhanced access to care, and improved patient satisfaction.
